There is much weighing heavy on all of us, including the crisis in Afghanistan (which we take a moment of silence to acknowledge), the pandemic and more. I recently had a moment when it all became too much, and I lost my shit for a moment. But as I've been processing that experience, I've received the wise guidance: "You are not a machine. You are an animal with a beating heart."

Together, we explore what this teaching means for the moments we're living in now and how it connects us to the deeper qualities of our hearts. Then, we practice a guided, love and gratitude meditation for embodying that heart-essence to nourish ourselves and put more love into the world.
